Me either...and I just got my DX50 a few days ago (early Christmas present).

 Oh well, to keep me busy until the DX90 shows up next year, I just tried out my DX50 as a digital transport feeding my Schiit uber Bifrost/Lyr and Audeze LCD-2 setup.  Color me impressed!  Much better than the old laptop that I was using (at least for portability if not sound quality).  Now iBasso, PLEASE fix the gapless (predicted for FW 1.2.7) and I'll be one seriously Happy Camper!! 

 
Cheers!

I don't think it's replacing the DX100.  It will be another DAP to chose from.  I'm rather glad there are more options coming out since Cowon has been stagnant lately, we've needed some new (more affordable) stuff on the market (sorry, for me Apple doesn't count).

Hello, anyone using the sd female to micro sd male adapter shown in the faq thread? I found a more finished version on fleabay, they even let you specify ribbon cable length.

It works great now that I resolved my card slot problem.

Cheers,
Shawn

I use one which I put in between my DX50/Amp stack.

That one will be very thick for me. But it looks good otherwise.

Yep, it is a little fat for a stack. I have the PB2 in a case originally intended for a Garmin GPS. The adapter fits vertically right next to it. I did have to cut a slit in the case so the ribbon cable can exit to the DX50.. By the way, after updating to 1.2.6 my gapless is still working fine?

I assume you are going to power the drive externally and not from the DX50 correct?

s

Correct.

 

[jaganeee]

my right channel is not working through HO.
LO is working fine.
it occurs while listening to the songs.
what may be the cause ?

that seems to only have one USB whereas the other seems to have two, or am I being a little dim?

Crossfade you mean? Or do you have gapless set to "closed"?

Could it be the cable or the plug?
